Vladislav Yasevich 61c9fed416 [SCTP]: A better solution to fix the race between sctp_peeloff() and
sctp_rcv().

The goal is to hold the ref on the association/endpoint throughout the
state-machine process.  We accomplish like this:

  /* ref on the assoc/ep is taken during lookup */

  if owned_by_user(sk)
 	sctp_add_backlog(skb, sk);
  else
 	inqueue_push(skb, sk);

  /* drop the ref on the assoc/ep */

However, in sctp_add_backlog() we take the ref on assoc/ep and hold it
while the skb is on the backlog queue.  This allows us to get rid of the
sock_hold/sock_put in the lookup routines.

Now sctp_backlog_rcv() needs to account for potential association move.
In the unlikely event that association moved, we need to retest if the
new socket is locked by user.  If we don't this, we may have two packets
racing up the stack toward the same socket and we can't deal with it.
If the new socket is still locked, we'll just add the skb to its backlog
continuing to hold the ref on the association.  This get's rid of the
need to move packets from one backlog to another and it also safe in
case new packets arrive on the same backlog queue.

The last step, is to lock the new socket when we are moving the
association to it.  This is needed in case any new packets arrive on
the association when it moved.  We want these to go to the backlog since
we would like to avoid the race between this new packet and a packet
that may be sitting on the backlog queue of the old socket toward the
same association.

Solar Designer 2c8ac66bb2 [NETFILTER]: Fix do_add_counters race, possible oops or info leak (CVE-2006-0039)
Solar Designer found a race condition in do_add_counters(). The beginning
of paddc is supposed to be the same as tmp which was sanity-checked
above, but it might not be the same in reality. In case the integer
overflow and/or the race condition are triggered, paddc->num_counters
might not match the allocation size for paddc. If the check below
(t->private->number != paddc->num_counters) nevertheless passes (perhaps
this requires the race condition to be triggered), IPT_ENTRY_ITERATE()
would read kernel memory beyond the allocation size, potentially causing
an oops or leaking sensitive data (e.g., passwords from host system or
from another VPS) via counter increments. This requires CAP_NET_ADMIN.

Dimitry Andric c3fb04162a [ARM] 3529/1: s3c24xx: fix restoring control register with undefined instruction
Patch from Dimitry Andric

In arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/sleep.S, the coprocessor registers are saved at
suspend time, and restored at resume time. However, an undefined
instruction is used when attempting to restore a non-existent "auxiliary
control register".  This leads to a crash on S3C2412, which has an ARM926
core instead of an ARM920.

At suspend time, the following fragment runs:

	mrc	p15, 0, r7, c2, c0, 0	@ translation table base address
	mrc	p15, 0, r8, c2, c0, 0	@ auxiliary control register
	mrc	p15, 0, r9, c1, c0, 0	@ control register

and at resume time, the following fragment runs:

	mcr	p15, 0, r7, c2, c0, 0		@ translation table base
	mcr	p15, 0, r8, c1, c1, 0		@ auxilliary control
	...
	mcr	p15, 0, r9, c1, c0, 0		@ turn on MMU, etc

There are several problems with these fragments:
1. The ARM920 and ARM926 cores don't have any "auxiliary control
   register", at least not according to the ARM920 and ARM926 TRM's.
2. The 2nd line of suspend erroneously saves the c2 register again.
3. This saved c2 value is restored using an undefined instruction.  For
   some reason this does not crash on ARM920, but does crash on ARM926.

The following patch fixes all these problems.

Angelo P. Castellani 8872d8e1c4 [TCP]: reno sacked_out count fix
From: "Angelo P. Castellani" <angelo.castellani+lkml@gmail.com>

Using NewReno, if a sk_buff is timed out and is accounted as lost_out,
it should also be removed from the sacked_out.

This is necessary because recovery using NewReno fast retransmit could
take up to a lot RTTs and the sk_buff RTO can expire without actually
being really lost.

left_out = sacked_out + lost_out
in_flight = packets_out - left_out + retrans_out

Using NewReno without this patch, on very large network losses,
left_out becames bigger than packets_out + retrans_out (!!).

For this reason unsigned integer in_flight overflows to 2^32 - something.

This fixes two problems triggered by the MMC stack updating clocks:

 - SPI masters driver should accept a max clock speed of zero; that's one
   convention for marking idle devices.  (Presumably that helps controllers
   that don't autogate clocks to "off" when not in use.)

 - There are more than 1000 nanoseconds per millisecond; setting the clock
   down to 125 KHz now works properly.

Showing once again that Zero (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero) is still

Fix two outstanding issues with the pxa2xx_spi driver:

1) Bad cast in the function u32_writer. Thanks to Henrik Bechmann
2) Adds support for per transfer changes to speed and bits per word

David Brownell a020ed7521 [PATCH] SPI: busnum == 0 needs to work
We need to be able to have a "SPI bus 0" matching chip numbering; but
that number was wrongly used to flag dynamic allocation of a bus number.

This patch resolves that issue; now negative numbers trigger dynamic alloc.

It also updates the how-to-write-a-controller-driver overview to mention
this stuff.

David Brownell ccf77cc4af [PATCH] SPI: devices can require LSB-first encodings
Add spi_device hook for LSB-first word encoding, and update all the
(in-tree) controller drivers to reject such devices.  Eventually,
some controller drivers will be updated to support lsb-first encodings
on the wire; no current drivers need this.

Kumar Gala ff9f4771b5 [PATCH] SPI: Renamed bitbang_transfer_setup to spi_bitbang_setup_transfer and export it
Renamed bitbang_transfer_setup to follow convention of other exported symbols
from spi-bitbang.  Exported spi_bitbang_setup_transfer to allow users of
spi-bitbang to use the function in their own setup_transfer.

David Brownell a9948b6194 [PATCH] SPI: spi bounce buffer has a minimum length
Make sure that spi_write_then_read() can always handle at least 32 bytes
of transfer (total, both directions), minimizing one portability issue.
